Here's what I do 2-3 days per week.

20 minutes hiit on treadmill, 1 or 2 minutes fast, 1 or 2 minutes at a jog.

Bench
Squat
Overhead press
Bent over row or other upper back lift
Tricep curl
Bicep curl
Deadlift
Incline bench

All of the above 1 set by 12 reps.

Same weight for bench, squat, and deadlift. Should these weights all be different? In what proportions? Squat 2x bench, etc.?

Just trying to lose weight and tone up some.

the weight depends on you, your ability or even your goals and or program...not definite

losing weight and toning up is damn near all diet...building muscle helps, but its gonna come down to diet

I know, and that's the part I struggle with. I'm good during the week while working, then it all falls apart on the weekend.

Question for everybody in terms of diet, is intermittent fasting effective? Basically don't eat anything between 8pm and noon the next day?
 
ive seen IF work for people, but it still depends on the person. some people are able to fast for those hours but then go HAM when they eat, so its pretty much pointless.

if you can stay on top of it and honest, apps like myfitpal are pretty good.
 
Had to stop using the ab wheel, was causing my lower abdominals to involuntarily spasm.
Tried to have sex one night after using it, and my damn love muscles locked up on me.
Thing is... I wish they stayed looking that good. There was great seperation that I have yet to achieve under my own control.
 
Started using the lat pulldown machine at the gym. I never worked on my back much until I joined the gym, I noticed that my first session was great my back muscles was hurting for days after but now I rarely feel any pain after I do the same workout and it puzzles the shit out of me, gonna start doing bent over rows and see if that helps.

Yes but not much higher than 50kg, trying to work on form more these days but I might go higher on the next session to see what happens. plus thinking about it now my forearm starts to ache very fast on the lat pulldowns and pullups due to me not doing much in my workouts as far as pulling movements. I think this is the issue I need to build up my forearm and wrist strength in order to be able to go harder on the lats.....shit.
